How heartless can someone be to the extend of stabbing children to death? What has happened at a Day Care Centre in Ggaba scaring to say the least. Our sympathies to the parents who have lost their children.

@DailyMonitor In deed he has Dan it all. From teaching us in the classrooms of @Makerere to narturing us in the Newsroom @DailyMonitor,@ntvuganda and @933kfm, @Kalinaki has served jounalism with a distinction.

Congratulations, @ntvuganda, on celebrating 20 incredible years of excellence in broadcasting. Having had the privilege to work with you for 7 years, I remain proud to have been part of a team that has shaped journalism and storytelling in Uganda. Those years were filled with learning, growth, and unforgettable experiences. The Arua Municipality by-election , the parliamentary sessions and the nullified and repeated Kenyan elections of 2017 are some of those memorable stories I told. Happy 20th Anniversary!

President Yoweri Museveni has assented to three Bills that will regulate the construction, financing and valuation of the housing sector. The President assented to the Building Control (Amendment) Bill, the Mortgage Refinancing Institutions Bill and the Valuation Bill. The Building Control (Amendment) Act, 2025, will provide for the composition of the Board and its powers, the composition of Building Committees, and the streamlining of the procedure for the approval of building permits and occupational permits. The law will, in particular, align the composition of the Board and the Building Committees, increase the penalty for persons who carry out building operations without a valid building permit issued by a Building Committee and streamline the procedure for approval of building permits and occupation permits where the Building Committee fails to make a decision on an application for a building permit or occupation permit. The Mortgage Refinancing Institutions Act will regulate the establishment of mortgage refinancing institutions, provide for the functions of the Central Bank in relation to mortgage refinance business, provide for the conduct of mortgage refinance business and provide for corrective actions and liquidation. The law will require mortgage refinance institutions to provide long-term funding to primary mortgage lenders by re-financing or pre-financing mortgage portfolios for a long period of time of at least five years. This will enable primary mortgage lenders to offer mortgages to the public at more affordable interest rates, manageable payment instalments, Iong-term payment durations and extending to borrowers, a grace period prior to repayment of the loan. Thus, the law will lead to increased access to financing for primary mortgage lenders that, in the long term, will have an effect of facilitating affordable housing in Uganda. The Valuation Act, on the other hand, provides for the Office of the Chief Government Valuer to undertake statutory valuations to establish the Institute of Certified Valuers of Uganda and the Council as its governing body, to provide for membership of the institute to regulate practicing valuation and for a Professional Code of Ethics for certified valuers and practicing valuers. The law also stipulates offenses and penalties relating to valuation, general rules of valuation, including purposes of valuation and valuation standards. The Valuation Act, therefore, seeks to develop and implement a comprehensive regulatory framework for the valuation function in Uganda that will yield professionalised valuers who are well-regulated to provide quality valuation services.

@katzungu13 @KagutaMuseveni The law regulates every developer anywhere in Uganda based on the classification of the building they are constructing.

Fire outbreaks remain a growing concern in Kampala. #NTVNews We speak with @zziwaherbert, spokesperson for @NBRBug, to address the surge in fire incidents and explore practical solutions to improve building safety and prevention. #MorningAtNTV | ntv.co.ug

The @NBRBug is mandated under the Building Control Act, 2013, to regulate, monitor, and promote safe building standards in Uganda by overseeing construction activities, ensuring compliance with building regulations, supervising local Building Committees, and safeguarding accessibility and structural safety in the built environment. ~ @zziwaherbert, spokesperson #MorningAtNTV

From our investigations, most fires are deliberately set, many of them self-started, highlighting not just regulatory gaps but also deeper issues of personal responsibility and character. Negligence, especially poor maintenance, is also a significant contributing factor. ~ @zziwaherbert , spokesperson, @NBRBug #MorningAtNTV

Setting up a temporary structure is not illegal, but it requires obtaining building approval and a permit. We carefully review aspects such as accessibility and safety, so it is essential to consult professionals for proper design and compliance. ~ @zziwaherbert , spokesperson, @NBRBug #MorningAtNTV

"Buildings are classified based on their use, size, and structural design, helping authorities ensure safety, compliance, and appropriate regulations for each type." ~ @zziwaherbert, spokesperson, @NBRBug #MorningAtNTV
